Question

Perform the indicated operation 7 1/8 times 5 2/3

Answer 1

35/12. When you multiply the operation this is the answer you get.

Answer 2

Answer: The required result is
`40(3)/(8).`

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to perform the following indicated operation :

`E=7(1)/(8)*5(2)/(3)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

To perform the given multiplication, first we need to convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

The simplification of the given operation is as follows :

`E\\\\\\=7(1)/(8)*5(2)/(3)\\\\\\=(57)/(8)*(17)/(3)\\\\\\=(19*17)/(8)\\\\\\=(323)/(8)\\\\\\=40(3)/(8)`

Thus, the required result is
`40(3)/(8).`
